WELDTNG PROCESS.

Application filed April 2, 1925.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, LAWRENCE GIZIENSKI, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Curtisville, .in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVelding Processes, following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved method for joining ends of rods, bars, or

bars, which may The primary object of this invention is to provide an improved method of welding spliced or otherwise joined endsof rods or be formed of-copper of other analogous metal.

- Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of. the follo'wing description.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals parts throughout the same,

Figure 1 is an elevational View of a pair of rod ends which are properly shaped to slot or cut 6, the rod form a splice or joint,

Figure 2 shows the said rod ends spliced or joined together and enclosed in a case or layer of clay, or other similar plastic material capable of standing intense heat,

and

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken upon line 111-111 of Fig. 2.

In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of this invention, the numeral 5 designates the end portion of-a rod having formed therein the transversely extending slot or cut 6. The reference numeral 7 designates a second rod end which is formed with a transversely extending tongue 8 tially equaldimensions to the slot or cut 6 formed in the rod end 5.

It will now be seen that a mortise and tenon jointor splice has been formed and that by locating the ongue 8 within the nds 5 and 7 will be spliced together, as best illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, v

of which the I tenon joint a are employed to designate likeof substan- Serial No. 20,089.

\To permit the bringing of the joined portion of the rod ends 5 and 6 to a welding temperature, by subjecting the said ends to an intense heat, without causing diminution or oxidation of the spliced portions, the said splice is enclosed or encased in a layer of clay 9 or other similar plastic material capable of withstanding intense heat. After the spliced ends have been brought to a welding temperature, the clay layer 9 is quickly removed and the joined or spliced ends of the rods 5 and 6 welded.

It is understood that mortise and tenon joint has a preference over any other form of joint for the reason tacting surfaces at the ends of the rods to be joined.

Having thus described the invention, I claim 1. The process of welding rod ends and preventing oxidation of the surfaces to be welded, consisting in first coupling the two.

ends in relatively permanent engaging posi tion, incasing said ends in a protective covering, heating the whole to welding temperature, removing the covering, and finally welding the ends together without displacing them from theiroriginal coupled position.

2. The process of welding rods and preventing oxidation of the surfaces to be welded, consisting in providing the ends of the rods with relatively cooperative elements designed to inberengage, then interengaging said elements in a relatively permanent position with their meeting surfaces disposed in a plane coincident. with the longitudinal axes of the rods, encasing the joint thus formed in a protective covering, heating the encased joint to a welding temperature, removing the protective covering, and then welding the joint without relatively displam ing the interlocking elements whereby to that a mortise and ords a greater area of conprevent oxidation of said elements subsc- LAWRENCE -GIZIENSKL
